Super-Poincare Covariant Quantization of the Superstring
Abstract
Using pure spinors, the superstring is covariantly quantized. For the first time, massless vertex operators are constructed and scattering amplitudes are computed in a manifestly ten-dimensional super-Poincar\'e covariant manner. Quantizable non-linear sigma model actions are constructed for the superstring in curved backgrounds, including the AdS5× S5 background with Ramond-Ramond flux.
